Description

When in Repeaterscreen and one has to add an "uplink" ... could there be a popup which can show all neighbour uplinks with a "join" button... just like in DD-Wrt with the "Site Survey"?

Yeah, already thougt about that. We'll see how difficult this will get (can we scan without interrupting normal WiFi? comm?)

perhaps one needs kismet package installed for this?

04/11/07 23:25:09 changed by skynetbbs

hmmm installed wiviz but by default it doesn't do much except show a webpage and "tell" me it's hopping but it's not... I have to get it listening to the correct driver probably

then I installed kismet server... that one hopped allright... I had to unplug power to get my ssh connection back up&running :)

then i installed wireless tools

has to be examined yet but some other commands came to my attention ... source: http://www.wirelessdefence.org/Contents/LinuxWirelessCommands.htm#Wlan-ng_Commands:

wlanconfig athx create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode [sta|adhoc|ap|monitor]

(Create a new sta, adhoc, ap or monitor VAP)

Scan for Access Points (requires both steps):

modprobe wlan_scan_sta (To insert the scanning module) wlanconfig athx list scan (To list the APs)

There is a simple windows that shows you the results of iwlist ath0 scanning if your fonera is in QRM in version 0.8.6.

Maybe someone wants to extend this window, so that you actually can select a station?
